remove music on PPT

To remove music and start over in PowerPoint:

1. Go to the slide that contains the audio icon.
2. Select the audio clip icon on the slide.
3. Press Delete.

If the music is playing across the whole presentation, it is still attached to a slide, often the first slide. Check the first slide first, select the audio icon, and delete it.

If the icon is hidden during the slide show:

1. Open the presentation in Normal view.
2. Go slide by slide and look for the audio icon.
3. Select it and press Delete.

If the audio is not meant to be deleted completely and only needs to be shortened:

1. Select the audio clip.
2. Open the Playback tab.
3. Select Trim Audio or Trim.
4. Use the sliders or yellow handles to remove the beginning or end of the clip.

To add new music after removing the old one:

1. Select Insert > Audio.
2. Select Audio on My PC.
3. Choose the file and select Insert.

To control how the new music plays:

• Start > Automatically to play when the slide appears.
• Play Across Slides to continue through the presentation.
• Loop Until Stopped to repeat.
• Hide During Show to hide the speaker icon during the presentation.
